I refuse to be outworked, and I consider myself to have the heart of a lion.
I know what hard times are like. I didn't grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth. I've had struggles.
There is no chip coming off of my shoulder because, at the end of the day, you're still going to continue to be doubted.
The more time you spend with somebody, the more your relationship grows.
In the NBA, there's always a guy who is only around because he can jump. He doesn't have a clue about the fundamentals. I learn more from the WNBA. They know how to dribble, how to pivot, how to use the shot fake.
I have a great smile. A lot of people don't know that.
Think about the deflections. The offense can't score every play. They're just trying to get a good shot. If I can deflect a pass, even if it doesn't cause a turnover, it will throw their timing off half-a-second. That half-a-second might mess up their shot.
I've never been a guy who has said 'OK' about stuff. That's not me. That's not my personality. If I think something's wrong, I express that.
Every time you make a jump, whether it's from high school to college or college to the NBA, you're going to hear questions about your athletic ability.
I've been pretty broke my entire life. I'm not going to live that same life, but I'm going to keep those same principles.
Wherever you go in Michigan, you find that toughness. I don't know if it's the weather or the hard times. It's like, if I can make it out of here, I had to be super tough.
I'm a huge fan of basketball. Any time you get a chance to watch basketball, I do it.
I can throw all the good passes I want, but if they don't make shots, it's not an assist.
I think Coach Kerr and his staff have done a great job with what they bring to the table.
The goal is to win a championship. Every team enters the season with the goal to win the championship, but realistically, there are five or six teams with a realistic shot at winning a championship.
I'm trying to make the Hall of Fame.
Be remembered for the right things.
My fire is my gift and my curse. I harness it 95% of the time, but the 5% I don't, it works against me.
That's one of my strengths, that I can adjust, and I can play with anyone.
Every decision I make is, 'How is this helping me become a billionaire?'
